So sorry to hear about Robert. We just got back in touch at Butch's funeral. It's so sad when you lose someone so quick. I pray god watches over his mother and Doug.

Barbara and Douglass, I am so very sorry for your loss. We all grew up together and more like family. Barbara and Doug, just remember that he's not hurting anymore and he love life and loved both of you very much. Robert and Butch are both gone and they are most likely cutting up in Heaven together. May God be with you.
Love always
